Do you want to earn a decent part or full time income from the comfort of your home? Most people do. Who doesn’t want a home business with a much-loved hobby? Will your internet dream come true?

But how do you make money online if you have little or no money to start with? Oh, you can say, don’t “BS” me and get my hopes up. So is it really possible to start an online business with no money? Based on my internet marketing experience, I am going to share with you 2 simple and effective ways to make money online without paying a dime on advertising.

1) Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is probably the easiest online business to get involved with. For starters, there is no product or website to start with. For those of you who don’t have a budget for advertising, don’t worry, there are plenty of free ways to advertise your business online from home. Free advertising, such as writing articles and submitting them to EzineArticles.com, creating your signatures on internet marketing forums, free advertising on classified ads, MySpace, YouTube, Craigslist, Squidoo, etc.

However, before you start promoting any affiliate product online, you need to know about Clickbank.com. Why Clickbank? This is because Clickbank is a favorite marketplace that sells digital products and as a Clickbank affiliate you can sell many e-books of your choice. Clickbank registration is free. You will be paid a commission each time your prospect purchases your Clickbank product. There are literally thousands of Clickbank products that you can choose from. So, do your research, find out what your favorite hobby or passion is, then pick a product of your choice.

For example, if your favorite hobby is about animals like dogs, and you want to do article marketing, you might want to write an article on “Ten Simple Secrets to Effectively Training Your Dog” and submit it to article directories. All you need to do is include your name and a brief summary of your experience and of course your affiliate URL links in your resource box. So, ie, you need to select an affiliate product on Clickbank that is related to your favorite hobby, and in this example, select affiliate products that are related to your favorite hobby, ie. dogs.

2) blog

Blogging is another favorite way to make money online. You can start blogging by signing up for Blogger.com, which is free. The best way is to write articles about your affiliate products that you like or are passionate about on your blog. A product review, if possible, which should include your affiliate links. If you blog often, at least several times a week, you should be able to get some free search engine traffic to your blog because search engines love fresh content.

There are some great article directories that you can submit your articles to, like EzineArticles, GoArticles, ArticleMarketer, etc. EzineArticles.com is my favorite article directory to submit my articles to as it’s a great place to get some good exposure; and EzineArticles.com is also the favorite resource of most internet marketers to get backlinks to their blogs. Anyway, since generating traffic through search engines is free, why not make the most of it? It will definitely increase your PR (Page Rank) of your blog. The reason EzineArticles.com is so popular is because their web pages often rank very high in Google’s SERPs. So, make the most of this free article directory.

Before you start a blog on your free Blogger.com, you’ll need to think about your blog name and have your email account with you, as you’ll be prompted to enter your email address. Do your research on the keywords for your blog. You may want to try this free software, Goodkeywords.com to get some good keywords. Once you set up your blog, you can start publishing your first article. Put your keywords in the title of your blog.

Ok that’s it, just 2 simple and effective ways to make money online without paying a dime on advertising. Of course, there are many challenges in starting an online business, but you have to be very patient and persistent with your online business.

So keep trying and focus on your internet business. But remember, it is persistence that will lead you to the realization of your dreams. There may be times of struggle and disappointment, but if you stick with your Internet business… dreams do come true!
